On June 22, the Texas Secretary of State said both Kinky Friedman and Carole Strayhorn are on the November ballot. The news was no surprise, since they each turned in four or five times the legal requirement. It took the Secretary of State six weeks to examine the signatures.
Grass roots volunteers achieve 81% validation rate on 170K signatures for the Kinky campaign. Impressive.
And we don’t know how many signatures were thrown out due to duplicates with Strayhorns petition which invalidates the second signature. And we don’t know the accuracy of the Sec of State’s process.
10 reasons Texas Republicans should vote for Kinky (I stole this list from a whiney liberal, but I fixed it to take out the whining):
(1) Kinky has run for office in the past as a Republican,
(2) Kinky voted for Bush/Cheney in 2004,
(3) Kinky’s interview with Ruminator magazine confirms that he supported Bush’s Middle East foreign policy,
(4) Kinky’s public voting records confirm he was mistaken when he said he voted for Gore in 2000,
(5) Kinky hasn’t voted for a Democrat in any election at least from 1994 to 2004,
(6) Kinky wants to take time during the school day for prayers in schools,
(7) Kinky wants to post the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms,
(8) Kinky is not obsessed with political correctness,
(9) Kinky knows how to deal with illegal aliens from Mexico, and
(10) Kinky’s immigration policy of hiring Mexican generals to police our border is a great idea that John McCain has endorsed.
